TESTING

UNDER EUROPEAN STANDARD IEC 61482-2: 2009 THERE ARE TWO TEST METHODS UNDERTAKEN
TO ESTABLISH THE LEVEL OF PROTECTION ACROSS ARC FLASH CLOTHING.
OPEN ARC TEST METHOD: IEC 61482-1-1 BOX TEST METHOD: IEC 61482-1-2

This test method gives a Calorific Value for each garment - This test method gives results of either 4kA (Class 1) or 7kA
expressed as an ATPV (Arc Thermal Protection Value) or EBT (Class 2) being a higher level of protection and is established in
Value (Energy Breakopen Threshold) - and this way, layered the European market. The garments in our single colour collection,
garment systems can be built up with testing results that high visibility collection and two tone collection are all tested this
correspond directly to your Arc Flash Risk Assessments. way but the results cannot be directly related to an ATPV.
